First, be sure to start with fresh, cold water. Bring your water to a boil. Put the black tea and then pour the water into the upper teapot.

Pour the cold fresh water into the upper teapot or kettle again. Let the water boil. When the water boils, remove it from the heat and let it rest to brew.

After 8-10 minutes, reheat the water before serving.

Pour the brewed tea into half of the tea glass and pour boiling water into the other half.

If desired, you can add sugar to the tea glass.
